Genius Hour Well this is a learning experience...many of you are using your genius as you work on your projects. If this was an easy session for you, you probably are not challenging yourself to grow AND you probably didn't learn anything new. Some of you need to spend some time reflecting on your goals and plan to achieve this. You do not get a great deal of time so you need to figure out how to use your time wisely. Comment below on the following: 1. One thing you learned while working on your genius project. 2. One next step to move your learning forward. Homework: Reflect on your genius hour blog: What went well/what did not go well? What do you need to do to improve your learning during your class time? What did you learn from today's What do you need to do next? See some pictures of today's geniuses...if one is yours, be sure to drag it into your own personal blog and start documenting your project with photos. Be sure to bring your grade 7 lunch and dance celebration forms in.
Math: Complete these questions on a number line (create and label your own number line: 1. (-5)+(+1) 2. (-10)+(-6) 3. (+7) + (____) = -2 Nutrition and activity unit: Complete your 3-day physical plan eg.an activity can be walking to a friend's house or doing an organized sport. Name the activity and number of minutes you spent doing the activities. Be sure to keep this and your 3-day nutrition record in your planning section of your binder. Physical Activity: You will be asked to create an activity on Tuesday for inside the class room, in the gym and outside on the blacktop. Think of some ideas.

I learned that drawing dragon feet is very hard, and one of my next steps to move my learning forward is to draw more dragons so I will be me better at drawing them (along with drawing their feet and talons).

Part of my plan is to draw from tutorials that I have found on the Internet so I will have learned from them and I can apply that learning to my own drawings.

What I learned is that I need to take a couple of 10 second breaks to try to think. and my next steps are to not get entirely distracted (I got entirely distracted a couple of times).

I learned that writing down the melody without leaving any spaces to do correction will result in a big problem when you add the bass.

I learned that if you use your time wisely, you can get a lot more accomplished! Like myself, I was able to finish a lot of planning steps. My next steps are to keep all your important information in a safer place, so you will not loose your items...

When do you want genius hour this week? Not tomorrow because not everyone will be prepared.

I think the best choice would be Thursday because the Grade 7's won't miss it while in band. However, if it is after/before Band, then I would prefer Wednesday. Looking forward to it!
